Trump claims on gas prices fact checked and found inaccurate

Donald Trump Fuels Instant Fact Check With Latest Ridiculous Lie

The former president's claim quickly ran out of gas.

uk.news.yahoo.com

The great man claimed $8 a gallon under the biden economy.


Republican 2024 front-runner claimed gas is now selling for “5, 6, 7 and even $8 a gallon” during an interview with former Fox News host Lou Dobbs that aired Monday on LindellTV, the platform founded by MyPillow CEO and longtime Trump ally Mike Lindell.

Attorney Ron Filipkowski shared the clip of Trump’s false claim on X and a reader-added community note was soon added to the post.

It read, “GasBuddy finds not one single station in their database of ~150,000 gas stations at $8 per gallon.”

In fact, according to the American Automobile Association, the national average price on Monday was $3.077 per gallon. An AAA press release last week also noted that “like holiday decorations, gas prices are coming down.”

Of course trump was not challenged on the claim. A cynic might think that he made the claim in order to disparage the Biden economy.

However its unlikely that he has ever put petrol in his car so maybe he is just out of touch,

There is a yawning gap between $8 and $3. Maybe we can now see how he messed up his accounts so much.

Gas prices under Trump are also misrepresented

During COVID, businesses were closed, people worked from home, interstate travel was restricted, parks, restaurants, movie theaters were closed.

People stopped driving and there was a surplus of gas which drove down prices.

Yes, gas was cheap
But you had no place to drive

Trump likes big numbers.
At one time it was over $7.00 in Los Angeles. It's between $4.00 and $5.00 there now.

I do not think any place in or near Sacrament has it for less than $4/gallon, and prices over $8 have been reported, within the last year, in some of the more obscure parts of California.

If Trump's remarks aren't strictly accurate with regard to current gasoline prices, the general gist of what he is saying is absolutely correct.

Among other elements of inflation and economic harm, consumers, especially here in California, are, as a direct result of corrupt Democrapic policies, suffering from unreasonably high fuel prices.

Not that a faggot in the UK could possibly have any sense of what the situation is like here in the U.S. Not that a worthless paradise that lives on government handouts could know what it is like, in any country, for an honest man that works for a living to find it harder and harder to stretch his wages to purchase the things he needs in life.

A worthless, parasitic faggot like you, living in a Eurotrash shithole of a country on the other side of the world from us, could not possibly have any basis on which to know what is true and what is lies, about what happens here in the U.S. All you “know” about the experiences of Americans is what the lying left wrong-wing lies-and-propaganda sites tell you.

You openly defend the most prolific and outrageous liars in government. You only care about politicians lying when you thing you can credibly accuse those you oppose of it.

And, as already pointing out, you have no basis at all on which to purport to know what is the truth, and what are lies, about what is happening here in a far superior country to yours, on the other side of the world from you. You stupidly and mindlessly believes the lies that the media feeds you, and then try to judge truth or falsehood against those lies.

Trump creates alternative facts to support his claims

That is how we get claims that….

Gas costs $8.00 a gallon
Modern toilets have to be flushed 15 times
Windmills cause cancer

 

[westwall]

He was lying again. The AAA say so.

No, he wasn't. AAA gives AVERAGE prices. In my neck of the woods gas topped out at 9 bucks a gallon at its worst.

[citygator]

I hate to admit it but Trump is right. He just released this picture that proves with just a little sharpie magic that he was right!!

 

[my2¢]

Gas prices aren't so politically influenced.

1. OPEC in the last half of the 2010's countered the American fracking oil production through cheap prices.
2. COVID reduced demand.
3. With the above, American oil companies value didn't keep up with the market. With recovery, CEO butts were on the line to increase shareholder value.
